& R+ y3 k. Y6 E- ~本想把把包括威尔士亲王在内的重型水面舰队隐藏在新西兰南岛准备伏击日军，但是KB绕了一个大圈从东南边杀到，避开了盟军的水机。KB载机已经非常紧缺，并没有携带大量的攻击机，威尔士亲王所中一雷毫发无伤，重巡路易斯维尔号需要进港排水了，条约型重巡质量也太次了。。。* M: ^$ g# n" N6 ?+ @" L

. G! H$ h' K- b4 G( h9 W8 s随着KB伴航大批水面舰队杀至惠灵顿附近，日军的意图已经十分明显，盟军在惠灵顿集中了现有的80%的CA/CL，还有英国名舰威尔士亲王号压阵。盟军现存的其他BB已经从印度赶到，目前已经离开墨尔本港口正在兼程赶向新西兰，挺过今天，新西兰将不会陷落！

42%的月光使得盟军雷达的技术优势得以发挥，两场夜战都是盟军发现并突袭日军，不过很遗憾由于双方战力差距过大，突袭并没有给盟军带来多大战果，第一战中美军名舰博伊西号没有沉在南洋但还是没有躲过这一劫，被大和，长门等舰的420，460巨炮连续爆菊当场沉没，另有休伯特号重伤进港排水

从新西兰南岛及时赶到的威尔士亲王编队拦截了日军大和编队，此时日军编队船只由于水雷的影响已经减半，但是火力上的差距依然十分明显，盟军一艘BB对阵日军5艘BB，盟军重巡的8寸炮完全无法对日舰造成任何威胁。不过皇家海军名不虚传，一代名舰威尔士亲王号从南洋死里逃生，经过半年修理后首次投入战斗，战斗力丝毫不减，8000码距离上首发命中大和号，直接摧毁了大和号的舰桥和控制室，作为旗舰的大和号立刻对局势失去掌握，燃起的大火成为夜晚最醒目的目标，吸引了盟军绝大多数的火力，不过即使被命中了4-5发14寸炮弹，霓虹国耗尽国帑堆积的终极战舰也仅仅是起火还没有重创，堪称生命的奇迹。$ @( S; U$ Z7 y8 g" w7 X6 J/ f' W

月光太差了双方完全看不到对方就在瞎轰，大和号被集火是因为一开始就被亲王打起火了，不过CA的8寸炮中了20几炮一点事都没有，毫无压力

鬼子水面舰队损失不大，CV损失比较大，还好意志坚强，我是不会告诉鬼子其实盟军的CV也败光了，43年7月前甭想大规模反击

hades1001

另外新西兰是打不下的，我充分吸取了打老赵的教训在惠灵顿堆了50w补给2个美军师一个澳洲师和所有的新西兰部队，总计战斗力超过2500，水面舰队和战斗机牢牢把守该地，鬼子来了估计要享受夜夜炮击的特别招待
